Tami just let us know how they do after you receive them. Just like I told you yesterday he's not a favorite of most people here. Let's hope that they'll come healthy and that you'll be able to bring them back if not so. We are here to help so ask away on any questions that you might have.

I was planning on writing you when they came in and letting you know how they look plus I'm sure I'll have plenty of questions.

Btw, are you going to be at the EEOS Show this weekend? I'm going saturday and plan on hitting the Redlands Sale next weekend.

My poor bank account!!!

Tami, there's no need to defend yourself...we have all made purchases that in retrospect weren't the best idea ;)

Your plants are most likely going to be smaller than you expected and maybe not as healthy as you'd like them to be...but they won't automatically be a lost cause. With a little TLC and some :crossfing they have a very good chance of doing a turnaround...you just might have to wait a little longer than you hoped for :)

I hope your back is doing better, don't overdo anything...

baby steps ;)

Thinking about it, I've now come to the belief this order will be a fantastic learning experience for me. Being in Homestead, I can pick up in full bloom orchids any day of the week if I'd like.

Now, I get to take seedlings and learn to really grow orchids, instead of just keep them flowering and healthy (if you know what I mean).

Even if 1/2 - 3/4 of them don't make it I'll learn what I did wrong.

I'd rather kill a 2 for 1 $4 orchid than a $40 one!!!!:lol:

Thanks for all the encouragement and best wishes for my back. It's been two year of absolute hell but I'm getting much better and stronger every single day. Lord willing, I'll be back to work next year and back to my constantly on the go self.

Hi Tami, you can write me if ya want! Hopefully your chids from Bill_Asia will be better than mine!!
As for the shows, I doubt it, as I didn't know/heard about them. And sound pretty far away from me :(
I'm planning on the one in Tampa area, on Halloween, I think-hope!

I had a serious back injury and needed surgery a few months back and am still not cleared to drive or I'd go myself.
